Reducing the number of illusions from 3 to 2 might just fix mesmer...

Not literally one shot no, but I'll be either having a fight already or just observing a point to keep it locked down and suddenly bam, Mirage out of thin air and I'm suddenly confused, tormented, burnt, and bled. Using skills to clean the condis hurts you because of confusion (and that can be a hefty 2k chunk on top of the 1.5-2k chunk from the other condis), moving will kill you further (except using up precious dodges) AND you're being shot at by each clone. On top of that you can't fight back, because even if you find the real mesmer they're either evading, stealthing up again or straight up invulnerable. A good mirage can easily deliver a 10k dump of damage as soon as they appear via condis and direct hits combined, AND daze you for a good 3-4 seconds.

I've specifically bulked up both my Ele and my Deadeye (2.4k armor on the ele with 17k HP, 13k HP on the deadeye with 2.2k armor off the top of my head) and they still go down like they weren't even there. Again, you need to be a bunker build to survive an ambush like that regularly and long enough that you can even attempt to retaliate.

Cute. I wish. Ask any deadeye how much trouble they have hitting mirages. They're essentially a non-target. Melee professions in general can't do it unless they're guardians or warriors with a lot of AoE.

To be clear this is not a problem with mesmers or chronomancers. This is a problem specifically with Mirage.

Why is it that the "I have never played mesmer" players always stick out in these discussions?

My advice as for every class:Play the class for 2 hours at least before commenting on it.

The fact that players are still confused by clones in 2019 is tragic. The vast amount of mesmers sub P1 are trash. The really good ones (who might trick you with fancy movement, or rather no movement) you wouldn't face on that silver or gold pvp rating. Any one who can't make out the real mesmer is being fooled by AI. You are literally below some lines of code. Let that sink in...
